Many thanks to everyone who has wished me a happy birthday, you are all friends. Among my presents the 8th and final series of 'Bewitched', a fantastic coffee making machine - the one that George Clooney advertises, special equipment to shave my head, because I now have the bald look! plus various other niceties.Talk about a trapped nerve. I have had terrible pains below the waist and all down my left leg, which sometimes almost seems to freeze up, so the GP is sending me to a pysiotherapist. Trapped nerves are fairly common, my one is a big one taking up the entire left leg from the hip to the toes, I think it's call the sciatica nerve. But you can get trapped nerves in your arms, your shoulder, all over your body. Some of them go after a while, some take two years to disperse, others have to have drug tratments or minor operations - plus, of course, pysiotherapy trratment.Lots more things planned for the John Lennon Season. I'll be interviewed for the 'One Show' on September 30, presenting the EMI John Lennion package at A Hard Day's Night Hotel the following day and recording a Japanese documentary the following week.Also my latest book should be published at the end of the month. I'm pleased that I started a 'Mersey Beat' facebook a few weeks ago and already have a few hundreds friends on it, with lots of Beatles and Mersey stuff. I also have Twitter. I think it's under merseybeat1961.

The Facebook is simply 'Mersey Beat.' I've been placing photos of Virginia onto this site http://liverpooldays.com/photo/thumbnails.php?album=32and I'm pleased to see her photos are the most popular. After all, she doesn't get much credit for all the work she did in helping to create and run Mersey Beat.
